abstract:The Household and Dependent Care Credit is a nonrefundable tax credit available to United States taxpayers. Taxpayers that care for a qualifying individual are eligible.
Whether you opt to have a babysitter or if you use out of home childcare (like camp or daycare), you might qualify for the ChildandDependentCareCredit.
If you pay someone to watch your qualifying child or dependent (generally, a child under age 13) while you work or look for work, you can, in theory claim the ChildandDependentCareCredit.
